It sounds like to me that you don't have the proper filesystem drivers built into your kernel.<BR>
<BR>
What filesystem for linux are you using? It needs to be built as <*>, not <M>.<BR>
<BR>
You should be using Linux naming for your hardrive in your yaboot.conf.<BR>
<BR>
Please post the output from "mac-fdisk -l /dev/hda" (minus the quotes please).<BR>
<BR>
Also post your /etc/yaboot.conf so we can see if that is setup correctly.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
